Muddy trainers and slippery paths in the woods
Reminds me of one of the first runs I did in Orpington
No shortage of wet days, no scorching heat back then.

Home, we don’t get enough summer rain for the mud 
      to stick
Storm overnight, almost dry in the morning
…my trail shoes are sleeping in the shoe rack.

But with September, autumn is coming slowly
I can’t wait to be alone among trees 
enveloped in the smell of wet leaves.

Nothing gives me more energy than being in the 
      forest
place where the time has stopped.

Place hiding ancient magic. 

……….

I am a day late…whoopsie. I thought I had something prepared and scheduled but I didn’t.
